Based on the Guiding Activities you created and implemented for your Project Sketch, develop at least one possible solution to your Challenge. You do not have to implement and test this solution for the purposes our of course, but note that students should engage in a testing and documentation phase when using this in a K12 course.
Develop a multi-media product that explains the Big Idea, Challenge, Research, Actions (from the Guiding Activities) and your proposed solution. This final product should include at least one instance of each of the following media formats: video, audio, image, and text. Be sure to include citations for all media and research. This final product should be able to be embedded on your wiki. Note: the wiki page could be the final product if multiple forms of media and content are included.
Suggestions – video uploaded to Discovery Education Media Share or other video hosting service, VoiceThread, Glogster, Prezi, Google Earth tour, xTimeline, video podcast (a.k.a. vodcast), etc.

Your sketch should include the following components and each could be its own page on your group wiki.
This sketch will not include proposed solutions.
The Big Idea
The Essential Question
The Challenge (a.k.a. the vehicle)
The Guiding Questions
The Guiding Activities (create at least one guiding activity with instructions and resources per group member)
The Guiding Resources – Create a list of resources as references and tools to support students as they engage in the guiding activities. Each of these resources should be bookmarked and shared to your Diigo group. The wiki page can simply include a link to your Diigo group.
Submission Instructions
You will post a link to your group wiki in the submission form.
Click on the Upload button to submit the file for your assignment.
Submit the project in Moodle by Tuesday night.
Here we go. Our adventure begins...
(u03a2) PBL Group - Diigo Group, Wiki, Google Calendar - Published (due Fri)
Create a Wikispaces wiki
Share artifacts gathered during research
Use the threaded discussion board to process the research and plan the product. (asynchronous collaboration)
Post link to Diigo group
Create a shared Google Calendar and embed it into the wiki
Post group benchmarks and task due dates on the calendar
Create a flow chart or mind map to plan the culminating product
Maintain an annotated bibliography on Google Docs
Use synchronous collaboration tools to conduct virtual planning sessions
Donna, 4/1: Thanks, Group! Added a few more dates to Lisa's date on the calendar. We probably still need to add when we want to Skype again. And added a google doc page for our Annotated Bibliography. Thanks, Lisa, for making it look nice! Linked it to our Calendar page. I will try to get through more of the DIIGO links tonight. Susan, love the pages added to the google docs. They will be good references for our project.
Lisa: I have uploaded the writing rubric from unit 3
I don't' have any particular plans for the holiday except for Sunday. I will cut and paste our E's onto the wiki before friday. Thurs I'm flexible for work and/or skype. I will also retry to paste that bubbl.us on the wiki. I've tried it several different ways but it's been pretty resistant, unfortunately. If you guys would continue to try agn later today (altho I'm doing it now 5:50 a.m. EST) and let me know if you can link to it or not. Also - there are some things that still need to be addressed. I can do them - not a problem. I will go onto the wiki and "check off" the things we did and who did them on the "non-calendar" pg where you guys cut & pasted this wk's moodle assignment pg. I'll add a few "benchmarks" onto the calendar also. I think we need to try to formulate a preliminary "plan" that will satisfy the requirement to "plan the culminating product" which I think is basically a written summary of our direction based on the Bubbl.us. I can also do that - doesn't matter. Would certainly need all y'alls editing-eye to add, subtract, edit where you see fit of course. These things just need a little "touch up" - which I can handle if everyone's OK with that. The only thing that totally hasn't been addressed is the bibiolography. I'm not great at that but when I have to do one, I look up an MLA webpage I have where you stick the info into it, click "web site" and it arranges it appropriately...altho, gotta find that link! Whoops! So this does need addressing. If you want me to do it - not a problem, like I said, I'm flexible (except for Sunday - but that's post submission anyway). After all this is addressed and I have everyone's stamp of approval, I'll submit our project for the wk. OK - let me know if this is all OK ladies. Gonna try aaaagain now to RE-RE-RE-link that stupid bubbl.us to the wiki. Please try it later to see if it FINALLY works. If not - feel free to give it a go. I'm pretty much out of ideas there. If you figger it out - certainly let me know. Will work out all of the above items sometime, probably Thursday. We'll see what happens with today. And if I still have a JOB! Who knows. Going to be a VERY sad night tonight. Tues is when the pink slips officially go out. I do think I'm OK actually (altho languages ARE on the table) but some very, VERY close friends aren't so safe. Awful time in NJ ed history, lemme tell ya. Once I cut and paste our E's onto the wiki and get all that done, you guys can take a look - change what you think needs changing, or let me know what to add/subtract/divide. After that's all done - let's switch our convos directly to the wiki (after that) so it's going to have to be looked at frequently. Maybe we can E each other to say - ck the wiki - or something when we add stuff. Don't know off hand if it has a "share" feature but will check. Oh- also - on the wiki - whenever we add something, let's add it to the TOP so we don't have to scroll, scroll, scroll, OK? You'll see how I'll set it up. I'll put something like: Lisa Camp: 3/31/10 5:30 a.m. EST ..blah blah blah. Then I'll put a lines to "contain" it. You'll see.Everyone OK? Let me know what you need, what you want me to do, what you're going to do, and/or if you're all OK with what I'm GONNA do! Not a problem at all. Don't mind. Happy to do it...etc, etc. Just hope what I've done, and am GOING to do, meets with everyone's approval and is what you wanted/thought it should be/approve of. I'll let you all know when it's done so you can review it all.
Buona Pasqua! (happy easter!) Lisa P.S. I'll also try to set us up for next week too and see what needs to be done, set up, etc.
Should we convene for a quick Skype and finish everything Friday afternoon? 6:00 ish? we can then send it in. Those who can be there, ok, those that can't, ok. Lisa, I can't open the Bubble on the wiki. It isn't linked. Everything else is there. We just need to tidy it up a bit before we send it. Or not?

I think Lisa is right, some of these discussions should be in a common space so that our collaboration can be verified by Karen. I think that the wiki was recommended by the instructions. That is what the other page on the wiki was created for. Can we link the bubbl.us on the wiki calendar page? I will try tomorrow. I can skype on either Wed or Thurs. I will be out of computer communication for most of Fri, Sat and Sun but you can always reach me on my cell and I can find a wifi if I need to. Leave a message if I don't answer and I will call back. I do think we need to clean things up and get them into deliverable order for Fri so we all need to know what is going in and be sure that 4 sets of eyes proof if at all possible.

Wed is disaster day for me so I won't be available. You guys can certainly get together! Someone just let me know what you talked about and what you plan on doing (and what you want ME to do!). Not a problem at all. We have some stuff to iron out before I make the group submission on friday. There's some stuff I just don't get. And for that matter - all of these Email discussions probably should have been on our wiki or somewhere. D'oh! You guys work something out and I'll just catch up afterwards. Not an issue at all.

I think this should be fine. We can all "collaborate" on the same one. But, Lisa, it does still say "read only" for me, too. I wonder if we can only work on it one at time? Or maybe you just have to change a setting. I have NO idea but I will look under the help if there is one and see.
